Abstract
The history of child fatality review (CFR) begins with the work of Ambrose Tardieu in 1860. More than a century later, in 1978, the first team was established in Los Angeles, California. This article reviews the history of CFR, the composition of teams, and its purpose based in preventive public health. The successes of three decades and challenges for the future of CFR are discussed.
